from the Stack's Bowers 2017 Collector's Choice sale, lot 72675
Mexico SB517-72675r.jpg

This specimen was lot 72675 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Santa Ana, CA, May 2017), where it sold for $352.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Peso, 1893-CnM. NGC MS-62. VERY SCARCE, mintage of only 498 pieces. Sharply struck with attractive "orange peel" tone, quite attractive." This specimen was struck at Culiacan in 1893. Mexico City is the commonest mint, followed by Guanajuato, Culiacan, Zacatecas (scarce), Hermosillo (rare), Alamos (rare) and Chihuahua (rare). Even the common dates have low mintages but the type was widely hoarded, making it reasonably available today.

Recorded mintage: 498.

Specification: 1.69 g, 0.875 fine gold, .047 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: KM-410.2; Fr-160.
